The Town of Hanover, Ontario, is joining other municipalities in Grey County to find experienced professionals to serve on a committee that oversees election spending for 2026.
The group, officially called the Compliance Audit Committee, is an independent body that ensures all candidates and groups follow provincial rules regarding campaign money. This committee is required under the Ontario Municipal Elections Act to help keep local elections fair and transparent for the community.
Local officials are looking for applicants who have experience in accounting, law, or election administration. Members of the committee will be responsible for reviewing and deciding on any complaints if a voter believes a candidate or third-party group did not follow the rules for their financial records.
Interested residents can pick up application forms at the Town of Hanover municipal office at 341 10th Street or request them by email. This recruitment effort is being done alongside other neighbours, such as the Town of The Blue Mountains, to share resources and manage the process efficiently across the region.
